I DO NOT AGREE that SPAIN is a dead issue and NOT a good place to invest, I DO BELIEVE some areas are not worth putting money into but then that is the same everywhere.

And from experience the people that ***** and moan are the ones that tried to be clever, and do it all themselves.

If you wanted to trade the stockmarkets, would you not get help, seek a good broker and study for about 10 years............well you cant really study the immerging property markets for 10 years because it would be nearly over, so you should seek a good BROKER or AGENT...(and yes i am an agent)
BUT my clients have all MADE MONEY, because they listened and took the advice of an expert.
I am not into arguing and fighting, because if you dont want to invest in Spain then DONT.
But the point of my message is this, dont follow the sheep, get advice, get refferals, look at previous history, infrastucture, holiday support, historical government information, how stable HAS the country been.

GAURANTEED RENTAL...........OK easy the prices are loaded, simple, there IS NO SUCH THING when will people get this into there heads.

I sell INVESTMENTS with BANK GAURANTEES, BUILDING LICENCES, and I sell from only LICENCED REGISTERED COMPANIES.

I ALSO offer CASH BACK out of MY OWN POCKET.

OH and if you have seen in the newspapers about SPAINS property market that is crashing BLAH BLAH BLAH, its actually the STOCK MARKET and this is happening GLOBALY....anyway.......

Anybody that wants any HELP or ADVICE then let me know.

Spain - why buy in a market that has already boomed? Thats lazy investing and will likely lead to low inflation type returns so once you factor in the loss of interest on capital introduced, 6 months rental voids, fees etc it is unlikely to be worthwhile.

Better to always buy in a newly rising market as long as you do your due dilligence. Just offered on a block of 6 flats for a total of 24000 euros in Berlin, but missed out. The IMF say this is the most undervalued western democracy property in the world. No wonder all the big city funds are here.

LAZY::::::::::::::::OK i am now laughing my arse off.

And when you have finished with your crystal ball can I borrow it?

And rentals I would agree with 100%, but then again I never said you should buy keep and rent, that would be a mugs game in Spain.

But sorry I am not interested in Educating people that are after the GAMBLE of unchartered immerging markets, YES the old 70% ROI in spain is well and gone, But MY investors are getting 15% to 25% ROI.............

And for the record, I have been studying the immerging markets for about 18months now, and yes I would have made money but also lost, I will in about 12months time be dealing in these markets but I havent finished researching the countries I am interested in......

Germany / Poland / Cape Verdi / Dubai / Bulgaria / Slovakia and several others I would rather not say at present.

Well we all have our own way, Good luck with yours.


Cheers

Hi, I agree with your friends, egypt is not ideal. I am a doctor in the UK and overseas investor. I have invested in Spain and Cyprus. Cyprus is ideal for you and your buddies, especially if you are into egypt, as egypt is a boat ride away!

The property market in cyprus is booming. Be careful though, many real estate agents bung hidden fees in right at the end!

I purchased an off plan property in Limassol 2 years ago, and made 30% on it as soon as it was built. I sold it and got a bigger villa. I started out living there for six months and renting it out while I was in the UK. Its been amazing. I am now buying more property there.

I cant recommend D.Zavos gruop highly enough. They are highly professional and are not pushy. They can tailor make a property for you, you can buy off plan or existing property, both old and new. Every property comes with investment,purchasing and rental options. The best one there is a woman called Julie, she is an English Cypriot, born and bred in the UK. She is forward thinking and will get the job done. Look out for many of the agents as most of them work on commission, they tend to suck you in a bit and you end up spending more than you want to. This woman doesnt earn comission so you know at the end of the day, what ever she is selling you is in YOUR interest not hers.

Her email is julie@zavos.com

If you speak with her please tell her that Sasha Alders says hello! Also, look into transport to egypt from Cyprus, youll be suprised its not far away at all.

Good Luck
Sasha

Hi,

I hear that a good place to invest at the minute is in Ronda Spain. It is a village close to the coast, but typically spanish. They are starting building golf courses and much more! At the moment the properties are at a very good price! I was over there a few months ago and there were some really lovely and cheap properties. I went in to see a girl who was English and worked in an estate agent. Her number is 0034 661 31 81 60. She really helped me and i am very happy with the property we bought.

Hi
Rules of thumb:
Avoid those "weirdoo" places which are too distant from Western culture
Avoid leasehold
Avoid rental pools (they take the largest part of your yield and if they go bust - which they do - you are really stuck)
In my opinion, Berlin is the bet because of good prospects of capital appreciation and good rental yield.


Thanks and good luck.

Berlin - yes I agree a good safe bet as Im continuing to invest there but there are drawbacks. Tradesman cost the Earth. Buracracy is bewildering. Long term tenants might mean when you come to exit in 10 years your market is restricted (price may have trebled but rent still low so new investors get a ****e yield).

'Wierdoo places' - I love them to. Morocco wins hands down as its the same flight time as Spain, long season (12 months in the facility laden Plan Azure Government resorts) and the Plan Azure resorts have no comparible in Turkey, Bulgaria, Portugal etc (to be comparable the resort must have a giant cutting edge marina on site not down the road, a giant SANDY beach again on site not down the road, on site 3+ golf courses, immense sports complexes - not just a little gym etc etc)
